    I wish I was at home to fly, that looks like a good list that would get done easily in my house. Just over a week to go and I should be able to fly again.

    Ok sorry was ready to do HHC - filled my bowl with soapy water while I commenced with HHC but just decided to do dishes while I was there which isn't a bad thing :)
    I am ready for one in five minutes if anyone is interested :)

    Hullo :hello: I want to join up this week and see how it goes. I do lots of these things anyway, just not in the order you do them, so will fine tune as I go. I am currently having a major de-clutter so that may take over my day :o

    So, how does this work? I just post up my list and work through it, then add the next days to it tomorrow and repost? Was reading the old thread trying to get to grips lol :o
